Review
On the first page they’re all “I know that more than anything in the world…You are my true love,
Michael Matthews…that I know is real,” then a few pages later Katherine gets her world turned upside down. Michael blames her for a loved one’s drunken driving death…“I needed you, at least the girl I thought you were, the girl my parents loved as their own. Right now I am so angry at you….how long were you leading me on?”
The novel is written in multiple points of view, which I enjoy. I loved getting to know what was in the heads of all the major characters. A few years later Katherine becomes Kate and she meets Daniel and her world is righted, she is happy and finally letting go of the pain that Michael left behind. While reading the book, the reader knows that Michael is Mike and Katherine is Kate, and this is why the book looses a smooch. I just kept reading and reading, what felt like hundreds of pages, to get to the point when Mike and Kate finally meet. I felt that all the male characters spoke like women, too wordy and with too much mush. I even showed by husband a few passages, and he was like “Guys would never say something like that! Hell no!!”
Overall the book leaves you hanging for the next book in the series. You are left with a love “square” (there are 4 players in this one), a pregnancy, and feelings that are unresolved.
4 smooches for this book…..The passion and romance that occurred between Daniel and Kate was great and left me wanting more. Hopefully the author will get to the point a little faster in the next installment.
